The ‘Alert’ Section brings the most important healthcare information to the fore.
This section highlights extreme problem(s). Previously, ‘alerts’ were just reported as ‘problems’, which carried the risk of losing the immediacy and importance of information to the attending clinician.
An alert in meant to be "Information used to warn or call to a state of preparedness. Information flagged (or intended) to raise awareness of a potential danger to/from the subject of the IPS or to/from another individual or awareness of a potential obstacle to care."
